Andrzej,

Imported and exported functions are not a unique concept to DPI (they are used
in interfaces and classes), so I do not think that the concept could be described
in a normal length glossary description (too many nuances and variants to make
this a good candidate for the glossary, in my opinion)

Given what is already there, the glossary seems primarily intended to address
major concepts and ideas in Verilog/SystemVerilog, not necessarily every
primitive.

Perhaps also 'import' and 'export' functions? (or imported/exported)

Andrzej
